Bags customer list, some staff and SaaS tool

Specialist Software Services (SSS) has made its first acquisition, devouring certain assets of e-Warehouse for an undisclosed sum.

The Reading-based IT infrastructure and asset consultancy firm has coughed for e-Warehouse's customer contracts, its Oxygen-branded web-based SaaS help-desk products as well as selected staff that will transfer as part of the deal.

Oxygen Help Desk will be incorporated into SSS's Livingstone Platform, a suite of products including Business Intelligence, compliancy and auditing tools.

Richard Althorpe, MD at e-Warehouse, will run Help Desk Services as a member of the SSS management team.

SSS doesn't sell tin or licences but provides consultancy and cloud services designed to help large customers - its smallest client has 14,000 seats - to cut costs, remain compliant and analyse data more effectively, at least that is the plan. ®
